205/45Z/R16

Would save me some $$ but not 100% sure if they'd fit on stock 2003 Teg alloys? Thanks! :D

They can fit.. but it'll give you a different speedo reading seeing as the diameter has been reduced. Not only that the load rating is different compared to the standard size. 205/55/16 IIRC

So I'm better off buying a new set of tyres you think? I have them spare so thought I might be able to swap them over
I'm looking at a DC5 to buy but it'll just need new tyres so just weighing up the costs involved - thanks for the replies!

Stock tire size for a DC5R is 205/55/16.
If you put the 205/45/16 you're reducing the overall diameter by quite a bit, and therefore you would be throwing off your speedo by quite abit also.
With those sizes, your speedo will be showing a faster speed than you're actually going.

Use this to confirm:

You're better off not messing around too much with the overall diameter.

You should be able to source 2nd hand tires for that size reasonably cheap.
Just keep checking the FS section.

Otherwise I've seen a few DC5 rims & tires go for reasonably cheap here.
You could do that and sell your current rims/tires?
